Still no multigrain or whole wheat bagels. That's ok. I love these. I am now obsessed with their blueberry bagels which are newish and I'm hoping this isn't one of their transitory flavors. This blueberry bagel has real blueberries in it. It's not just blue. Also, I found out that these are sourdough bagels and that just might be why the texture is so amazing. read more

Husband and I were in the mood for lox bagels on this fine Sunday morning, so we picked up an order of two open faced lox bagels to-go. The salted rosemary bagel itself tasted good, but the meal as a whole was very meh. The bagels didn't feel like they were toasted - not even lightly - so they got soggy from all the caper juice. As a result, everything was chewy. Not worth the $15-17 (I got vegan schmear) per bagel at all, imo. The smoked salmon pieces barely covered the face of the bagels. The first thing my husband said when we opened the containers was "I thought there would a little be more than that." Maybe they do a better job of other bagel sandwiches, but I don't think we'd go out of our way to get these again. read more

I wasn't surprised at their bagels. Perhaps I am more into Blazing Bagels? I still miss those times when you get to build your own. I was craving one wiyh salmon so I stopped by. Parking took a while!! Driving and driving around was no fun. You have to go around when getting in with a stroller which was my case. It was a quick order. Plenty of short tables. I know aesthetics are important now a days but I still believe things should be functional. Other tables were to tall to watch the stroller. Bagels was just fine. I felt I could find one of these at Starbucks or the grocery store for a better price. I won't be coming back soon. read more

I stopped by this place around 9:30 am, they already had ran out of jalapeños cheese bagels. I was very surprised by that as they solely sell bagels and ran out of those that early. So I got the blueberry and everything bagels. The blueberry bagel was so chewy and I can tell it was not fresh! I specifically told them to toast the bagel and they did not. The cream cheese was another disappointment, the chives were so long that I could not believe it! I'm so surprised how can a bagel place make such poor bagels and cream cheese and customer service was quite poor! Overall such a disappointment. read more

Picked up a few jalapeño and cheddar bagels here with some cream cheese and a latte style macchiato. The coffee was excellent but it did take around 20 minutes, which is a long wait for coffee during off times (I was there around 11:30). The bagels were ok, the flavor was strong but the texture was too chewy for me personally. I did like the shmear! Very fresh and tasted homemade. I would stop by again just for the coffee, it was genuinely excellent. read more

I think these are the best bagels on the east side, if not the whole Seattle area. Great flavor, ambiance, reasonable prices too. Super kid-compatible. The only caveat is that on a weekend morning, it sure is slow. So we'll continue being repeat customers, but we'll plan better. read more

The bagels here are really, really good, but unfortunately my experience with one of the employees was extremely disappointing. The woman who helped me had short, curly hair, and from the moment I walked up to the counter, she was giving me attitude. I was still looking at the menu when she motioned for me to come over. I politely asked, "Can I please have a bagel?" I even asked her how her day was before ordering. When I told her what bagel I wanted, she looked at me with a completely blank expression, tilted her head, and very rudely said, "With what?" The entire interaction felt unnecessarily rude and uncomfortable. I understand that it was toward the end of a rush and that she had probably dealt with a lot of orders, but there was no one behind us at the time, and that really isn't an excuse for treating a customer that way. There was no friendliness or guest service whatsoever. The atmosphere was pretty clean and everything else was good. I genuinely love the bagels here and would happily come back for the food, but the customer service from this employee really needs to be addressed. Hopefully management can take this feedback seriously, because one rude interaction can really change the experience of an otherwise great business. read more

Bagel was good and they were really nice. Plus I like that they had samples of their seasonal bagel

Finally got my bagels. Quick and fast service. In and out in 3min. They have unique selection on bagels and seasonal ones and the schmear too. I got the 6 bagels deal: Shallot Cacio e pepe Jalapeno cheddar Everything Salted rosemary Seasonal: strawberry crunch. Was looking forward their chocolate cherry, but they ran out. Plenty of indoor seating. They also serve coffee etc. There's a self serve water station. Parking: easy free street parking. read more

They had 3 bagel selections left at 12pm on Saturday.. the bagels tasted like store bought and not fresh and 5 layers of cream cheese and really not great. Coffee was lukewarm warm and even though we asked for eat in everything was given in bags and to go.. we just helped ourselves to plates and cups as no one cares. Not really NY style bagels .. won't visit again read more

Great bagels our favorite is the rosemary. Clean and friendly staff. Quick service and passable coffee. read more

The service at this spot is the gives you the best recommendations. The staff are nice and caring and the bagel and coffee is fire I'll come back again for my next visit and they got board games too. read more

The service was quite good and our waiter was polite, friendly and gave us good tips on our menu choices. The location is great and the ambience was quite good. The various pastas we ordered were average. I was really looking forward to dining here, but it was a bit of let down. While the portion sizes were generous, the dishes had a flavor of being pre-made and assembled together, almost in a fast-food kind of way, lacking an exquisite made to order and plated kind of feeling. As our waiter was great, I am fine with the 20% service charge added (and called out in large font on the bill) and the restaurant being upfront about it. But, it does seem like the management decided to pass this on to the customer to offset their cost increase due to the minimum wage going up to $20 per hour. It would be more reasonable to make that 15% and the restaurant adjust for their increased labor costs. read more

I had such a wonderful experience dining here! It's not always easy to find great Italian food with gluten-free options, but this restaurant really delivered. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about food allergies and took the time to explain which dishes could be safely modified. I felt completely confident and comfortable enjoying my meal, which is such a rare and appreciated feeling when eating out with dietary restrictions. The food was fresh and flavorful, the atmosphere was warm, and the service was excellent. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine with safe and tasty gluten-free options! read more

Fun spot - nice and open and airy in the summer, I'm sure it'll be warm inside in the winter. Appetizers and cocktails were solid...as we consumed those i realized we were running behind schedule so asked for our mains to-go. Staff didn't just handle this smoothly, but we could feel that they cared and wanted us to have a good experience with the food, even if we couldn't eat while there. Looking to coming back later one of these evenings and checking out that bar... read more

Rubinstein Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Redmond, Washington

The first time I came here they had new bagels. Honestly, I wasn't even sure they were still open because if your bagel shop and you don't have bagels, what are you even doing? It's been a few months and I came back and they had bagels and so I ordered bagel with sesame seeds and as I'm eating it it's like giant salt crystals every few bites and I honestly thought that the sea salt bagels in the bin next to the sesame seed bagels may have salt that escaped, but I found out no the sesame seed. Bagels are covered with sea salt as well. I don't know why anyone would do that. It's terrible. It's like every few bites. There's a chunk of beach trash in my sandwich. I could not return them. I am hoping that the refund shows up because bagels are not cheap but that was disgusting. So yeah last time they got one Star because a bagel shop with bagels isn't much of a bagel shop at all and they're not getting any more stars added today because what was just inflicted on me because you don't find out that they're salted unless you complain about the salt and so I almost ended up with $12 of edible bagels if you're gonna put sea salt on the bagel as well you need to put that on the flavoring label because that's disgusting and maybe not everybody likes disgusting. read more

The food is good, but portion size and prices are keeping me away from coming back here.

Love the bagel selection at Rubinstein Bagels! They're always so fresh and never stale when I've visited and they have a great space - lots of seating options. The crew is always so nice, too. read more

The bagels here are so good!! Try the rosemary bagel. The atmosphere was very nice and the coffee was good, we will definitely be back.

6/30/2024 Came back again to try their beets salad. You guys gotta try this salad! Vibrant beets meet creamy ricotta, toasted walnuts, and a drizzle of sherry vinegar. It's a symphony of textures and flavors--a must-try! Chef came to our table and said hi and their service was great. read more

First time coming here, I've always passed by this location and love their patio+interior. Came here with a friend and gave them a try. Had their mimosa and I'd say it's a great amount, they even offered bottomless for $25 which is perfect for someone like me hahah. I got the salmon eggs Benedict and it was super tasty. Def worth what I'm paying for. The automated tip at the end was a bit surprising because it's not typically the standard way in restaurant industry, I'm still fine with it. Just wish our servers were more attentive read more

Going to have to agree with the other reviews about being overpriced especially for the portion sizes. Since when are bagel breakfast sandwiches $12? Ordered the egg and avocado bagel with the extra $3.50 piece of bacon, only to open my sandwich (got it to go) and find out they forgot the bacon. If you're going to have the audacity to charge that much, at least get the order right. It did taste good but felt like a total rip off. read more

I have been here at least 32 times and every time I come here the service is really good and I came here on Saturday and I got a bagel sausage, egg and cheese sandwich on a jalapeño cheddar bagel and it was so delicious at the nice kick very toasty And it was done quickly and it's very spacious. They have games for you to play with your family, which is very nice and they have ceased by the window so you can eat your sandwich and look outside and it's always so beautiful when you said about out there, but I will come over here again read more

Rubinstein has been my usual morning spot for breakfast. I dislike street parking but I'd brave it for the bagels. The place is spacious, airy and clean plus the staffs are always pleasant. My faves are the jalapeno cheddar and cacio e Pepe with lox schmear. The bagels itself are always fresh, toasted to perfection with a nice chewy interior. Give them a shot if you're in downtown Redmond read more

Late post -- Went here for Seattle Restaurant Week in late April. Glad we made reservations, the place was pretty busy considering it was early in the evening. There's the bar, lounge, dining area. There are a couple of garage doors that I imagine open up during the summer. Got seated overlooking the open kitchen. Too bad the counter is high so we didn't see them in action. Noticed that wait staff was quick to pick up orders that were ready and that there were no heat lamps (so you know you're food isn't sitting too long). The Seattle Restaurant Week Menu - 3 course meal for $50 Our first course choices were: - Grilled Octopus - Cannellini Beans, N'Duja, Calabrian Chili, Salsa Verde - this dish was delicious. Octopus was tender and the beans had a nice heat to it. I just wished the ratio of Octopus to beans was better (had a lot of beans and not enough Octopus). - Beef Tartare - Dijon, Caper, Cornichon, Quail Egg, Sunchoke - another delicious dish! Beef tartare was tasty. Our second course choices were: - Potato Gnocchi - Snails, Garlic, Parsley, Butter - I wanted to try this dish because of the snails. Heavy dish but it was good. Just like escargot, it was swimming in butter. Delicious dish but I can only eat so much of it because of the richness. - Pappardelle - Beef & Pork Ragu, Tomato, Mint, Chili, Orange, Grana Padano - Although both dishes were really good, I liked this one just a tad better. Mainly because it wasn't too rich. The meat to pasta ratio was decent. Our third course choices were: - Zeppole - Lemon Zest, Powdered Sugar, Chocolate Sauce - YUMMY! I highly recommend this dessert! Dough was light and dipped in the chocolate sauce...wow! The chocolate sauce was perfect! Not too sweet. - I can't remember what my companion ordered. It's not on their regular menu, but it was also good. For drinks we had the Manhattan and Frank the Tank -- both were good Service was good. Was it worth the automatic gratuity of 22%?....Compared to other establishments who have similar set-up, no. read more

This is a very delicious and hip restaurant. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, giving honest answers about their favorite dishes. You can tell they are excited about the food in this restaurant. Everything we ordered was immaculate and perfectly plated. The mocktail I ordered was divine and they had N/A beer. We ordered the smoked fish on toast, the beef Carpacio Salad with anchovy aoli, the Beet salad with whole walnuts and a whole side of the bowl smeared with a very sufficient amount of whipped ricotta and the perfect spicy sausage rogatoni. We finished with a nice strong espresso and the best homemade tiramisu I have ever had. All along with a very clean, modern atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating, in addition to a rentable private dining room. This place greatly exceeded our expectations. I cannot wait to go back for more. read more

Tavolata, which means Table in Italian, is an exercise in pasta knowledge. Honestly, it's all about knowing which pastas you like. I ordered Tonnarelli because I wanted a Cascio e Pepe. Unfortunately, it turned out that I'm not a Tonnarelli fan. My friend got the Papardelle with Beef Cheek Ragu which was wonderfully delicious. Spicy but not too spicy, meaty and most reminiscent of elevated, way elevated SpaghettiOs. You'll be in your comfort zone. I'm interested to go back to ask if they'll pair my favorite pasta with my favorite sauce. For example, pappardelle with casca e pepe. Wasn't a fan of the focaccia. I think focaccia as smooth like pillows and this is more textured like sourdough. It's just a texture thing. Ambiance is nice. We sat next to the special events room and they should have closed the door because the party was very loud. But all in all, it was a vibrant, happening dining room with other large and small parties enjoying their meals. I'd go back again. There is a 22% service charge, which they warn you about and some think it's tad excessive. I'd be happier with 18% and better service. Once the place got busy, we didn't get too much attention and had to flag people down. Word to the wise, if you're going to charge 22% service charge, you should really give stellar service to every table. I was happy to see that they seemed to have been able to hire qualified people on the eastside post-pandemic. Congrats. I'll be back. read more

Tavolata has a cool space and an exciting menu, but the service isn't really up to par. I made reservations in the lounge, which was totally the right call. We loved sitting down on the couches and it had a really good vibe! The staff also singed a birthday card since I mentioned there was a birthday on the restriction. Such a nice touch! It took 25 minutes before anyone got our drink order. We continually made eye contact with our server and tried to wave him over but it didn't work. By the time he finally came over, he seemed confused why we wanted him. The service was really slow, inattentive, and cold all night. At the end, we found out that Tavolata includes a 22% gratuity no matter what, which made a lot of sense. The staff clearly wasn't working for tips. Our drinks were a mixed bag. I loved my white sands mocktail! So many cool non alcoholic options. The martini was all vodka, so we had to request olive juice on the side. The food was decent. They have one style of gluten free pasta which was a pretty standard option. I liked my gluten free pasta, but it didn't have much shrimp on it. I found the prices to be high for the quality, but we went for BOGO pasta Monday so there weren't many complaints. I loved the birthday card, but thought for sure there would be a birthday dessert and was let down. Our waiter was super lazy, so it wouldn't surprise me if he just forgot. I would go again in a few months since I think this spot has a lot of potential. There is clearly an issue with some of the staff and some work that could be done otherwise, but it's beautiful and has a creative menu. read more

We came for our NYE meal 2023 (going into 2024) Foie Gras Mousse 10/10 Arancini 7/10 Lobster Crudo 11/10 Burrata 10/10 Squash soup 9/10 Celery Root Ravioli 9/10 Steak 10/10 Scallops 10/10 Zeppole 10/10 The stand outs of the meal and OMG it was an incredible meal was the lobster crudo I have never tasted anything so perfectly balanced and luxurious in my life!! I kid you not I'm not a huge lobster fan I feel it's mostly overrated but wow, just wow. The scallops and Foie Gras were legitimately some of the best flavors I've come across in a long time. Now here's my issue... we then came back as the experience was amazing and the meal extraordinary so of course we have to come back! I cannot emphasize enough how terrible the service was. Slow is not the word for it, inattentive isn't either, there was such a lack of care that it would have been laughable if it wasn't so unprofessional. As many comments have mentioned you then add insult to injury when there is a mandatory 22% for service that is atrocious. No thank you read more

We attended the fundraiser and the experience was fantastic. We had great conversation with the others around us. The family style was fun and engaging. As a seafood lover the appetizers were amazing but nothing beat the pasta. Thank you for the opportunity to support a great organization and have one of the best dinners we have had in a long time. read more

This place has been on my list and so when the opportunity came, I decided to check it out. They are doing a promotion right now where you buy a bagel sandwich or a bagel you get the second one free of equal or lesser value. The place is nice and parking was pretty easy even though it was street Parking. People are pretty nice and the place is clean. I ended up getting the pastrami sandwich on a garlic bagel and a double down (lox) on an everything bagel as well as a cacio and pepe bagel and a chocolate and cherry bagel. The two sandwiches were ok, on the saltier side in my opinion. It was pretty standard. The bagel was also on the chewier side as well. I also had a piece of the single bagels and although I like the cacio and pepe a lot, the chocolate and cherry was eh. Overall, it was ok, nothing too exciting. I'm glad I tried it. read more

Lots of seating , very clean and modern spot. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. So many different kinds of bagels!! I ordered the avocado toast on a shallot bagel. Open faced bagel with lots of avocado ( ) Everything tasted fresh however the avocado needed to be salted other than it was good. My husband ordered the bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel and he said it was delicious - it's looked awesome. I look forward to trying out their other bagels and schmears ! read more

Still waiting to be impressed by Tavolata.. I've tried the Cap Hill location before and wasn't a huge fan (mid tasting pasta for a premium price), and it's pretty much the same deal here in the new Redmond location. Tavolata Redmond is located underneath an apartment complex in downtown Redmond across from the park. Parking is a bit tricky with no dedicated lot, have to hope to find street parking nearby or walk from one of the parking lots. I got the pappardelle pasta, and it was alright - decent taste and portion, but at $30 I just expected something more. Service left a lot to be desired, it took a good 10 minutes for someone to come and offer us water after we got seated and check if we were ready to order. They also have an automatic gratuity of 22% regardless of party size - wish there was better service given this :/ read more

To start off, a 22% service charge is a bit unexpected. The service far from warranted this level of charge as we waited almost 20 minutes for anyone to acknowledge our presence. The server did not seem to want to be there and service left a lot to be desired. The food was good - I got the gnocchi and it was flavorful and a huge portion size. I loved the amount of mocktails they had as well. Overall, for the price we paid and the level of service, can't say it would make it in my usual rotations. read more

We tried their Seattle Restaurant Week menu on 10/31/2023. We walked in without a reservation and were seated immediately. We loved the interiors, they have a main dining area, and a bar/lounge area that would be great for happy hours. We started with Burrata and Roasted Beets. I absolutely loved the Burrata, the Roasted Beets were good. We then got Paccheri, and Rainbow Trout. We loved both the pasta and the entree. The prawn in the Paccheri was chopped up making it easy to eat with the pasta. For dessert, we got Lemon Zeppole, and Chocolate Gelato. We loved them both. The Lemon Zeppole was light and the chocolate sauce that it came with amazing. The gelato was good, the shortbread cookie it came with was amazing. We will definitely be back to try their regular menu. read more

In Washington, the season for outdoor dining is fairly short-lived. During one of the final sunny warm weekends, four of us came to Tavolata to enjoy a meal out on their patio. We arrived shortly after 4:00PM for Happy Hour (HH) which goes from 4:00-6:00 PM. The HH menu features several appetizers, a few pasta dishes, drinks and one dessert. Despite the prices of the HH pastas being around $9 - $11 cheaper, our waiter confirmed that there is no change to the portion sizes... so it definitely pays off to go earlier! We shared three appetizers and each ordered a pasta. With the exception of the clams, everything else is from the HH menu. + MANILA CLAMS ($19): This was a pretty good starter as it contained lots of clams in a fragrant green broth consisting of fennel, basil and butter. The menu stated it also had green chili... I didn't taste any of that and it wasn't spicy, but I did detect some dill and light flavor of wine. Many of the shells were empty, but I found lots of loose clams at the bottom of the bowl. While we liked the dish overall, the broth was very salty for our taste. + TAVOLATA SALAD ($13 HH): I loved this salad and it can easily be split between two people! The greens were so crisp and the tomatoes, cucumber and red onion were also fresh. The salad came covered in cheese and whole pistachios added some nice crunch. The Calabrian chili dressing was delicious and had a perfect heat. I would buy the dressing by the bottle if I could! + SALUMI BOARD ($8 HH + $7 for Torta Frita): This was the only item I was pretty bummed about. It had five thin slices of salami and just three slivers of cheese. That by itself was $8, but we decided to add on the Torta Frita (fried bread) for $7. The bread was delicious, hot and crusted with some salt, reminding me of a salty donut. They gave us seven pieces, so each one was a $1 each, and they were tiny! Given the steep price, it wasn't worth the value. + RIGATONI ($16 HH): The pasta was cooked al dente and the tomato sauce tasted homemade with just the right amount of acidity, but I again found this dish on the saltier side. The menu stated it included spicy sausage, but the sauce actually seemed to hold all the heat. Surprisingly, this contained a generous portion of sausage. They were non-uniform meaty chunks that appeared to be made in-house. I wouldn't buy this at the normal cost of $27, but it was pretty for the HH price. The service was very good and the staff checked on us a few times. Our shareable plates arrived in a timely manner and once we finished, our pasta entrees followed shortly after. I loved sitting out on their patio which is pretty extensive, and they also opened up the walls of the restaurant to offer open air seating inside. I'm assuming they'll switch to fully indoor seating during the colder months. We had a nice experience here overall and I'd gladly return for another meal during Happy Hour. read more

We loved finding Tavolata already open and opted to celebrate my birthday. Reservation was easy, we asked to sit outside on a perfect evening and they cleaned a table and seated us quickly. They gave me a card signed by the staff as soon as we sat down. I wasn't going to eat the focaccia but it smelled so irresistible--it was divine! The chickpeas made me enjoy celery and raisins, both items I'm not generally looking to eat. The chickpeas were def toothy. I had the ravioli and my honey got the bolognese. Great flavors, very unique for the bolognese (orange?!). They brought a candlelit bowl of chocolate gelato with a shortbread cookie, a creamy compliment to a lovely meal. Jonathan was a great server, and we will quickly choose to return for a date night or family meal in the future. read more
